Strides Pharma Science Ltd

STAR
Pharma - Formulators

Strides Pharma Science Ltd is printing record margins on a fuller multiple. From here the earnings must do all the lifting.

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only 42% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as operating cash — the gap between the P&L and the bank account is the thing to watch.

The price is in a confirmed uptrend (172 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 59th percentile of its own 11-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +55.7% year on year, and 42% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.

Withheld from this page: Part of this page is deliberately not drawn: its two data sources disagree by up to 98% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so nothing from the second source is placed here — the quarterly PEG curve, the quarterly return curves, the annual return-on-invested-capital overlay, the total-debt and debt-to-equity series and the F-score and the return-on-invested-capital reading are absent for that reason. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data. The quarterly history also begins where the primary source begins: 6 earlier quarters the second source carries are not spliced in front of it. Extending a reported profit series is stricter than showing a ratio chart — it needs a source that has been checked.
01 · Price story

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

Strides Pharma Science Ltd trades at ₹1,183, in a confirmed uptrend and 172 weeks into that stage. That is +19.3% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 100% of a 52-week range of ₹796 to ₹1,183. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 1 straight week.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 172 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹1,183 it trades +19.3% versus its 200-day average and sits at 100% of its 52-week range (₹796–₹1,183).

Sep 26: ₹1,183 Weekly closing price (₹) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 3-year window.

Mar 16Sep 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.5 years the stock moved +137% while the NIFTY 500 moved +267% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 1 straight week — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

02 · Valuation

Valuation P/E is the price of ₹1 of annual profit: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee the company earns in a year.

Strides Pharma Science Ltd trades at 18.8× P/E, mid-range by its own standards (59th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 16.1×, measured across 10.5 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/E of 18.8× is mid-range by its own standards (59th percentile), against a long-run median of 16.1× measured over 10.5 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

🚨 Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved −84.5% against a +30.1% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +33.5%/yr price move, ~+63.7%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−30.2 pp from the multiple (compressing); over 10y, of the +9.9%/yr price move, ~+13.1%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−3.2 pp from the multiple (compressing). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus earnings growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.

Put together: the multiple is unremarkable against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

A quarterly PEG curve, which only the second data source carries, is not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 98% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

03 · What the price assumes

What the price assumes This reading works the multiple backwards. It asks one question: what yearly rate of profit growth is a buyer at the market price already paying for? The number is the growth rate that makes eleven years of profit — six years growing, then five fading — add up to that day's market price, once each year is discounted at 11% a year.

Solved at its 13 June 2026 price, Strides Pharma Science Ltd was paying for profit growth of about 7.7% a year. Profit itself has compounded 19.7% a year over the past 10 years. Today the market pays 18.8× P/E, the 59th percentile of its own 11-year range.

What the two numbers say together. The multiple is unremarkable against its own past, and the growth the price is paying for is below what this company has actually delivered.

How to hold this number: it is a reading of one day's price, taken on 13 June 2026, not a running figure — every other number on this page, the multiple included, is read off the live quote as of 11 September 2026. A higher price is paying for more growth and a lower price for less, so it moves whenever the price does, and this page does not restate it between measurements.

04 · Stage: No read

Stage: No read Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

Strides Pharma Science Ltd reads as no read on its fundamental arc. Under eight usable quarters on the growth trio — not enough history for an honest trajectory read. The read is built from 8 quarters across 2 curves, on partial evidence.

Growth, year by year: revenue +6.4% in FY26, profit −84.0% Year-over-year growth per fiscal year, %: revenue (left axis); net profit and EPS (right axis — profit growth swings far wider). Zero line drawn. Turnaround-year spikes shown pinned (▲).

Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.

One or more growth curves carry a base-effect spike — a large year-on-year move off a near-zero or loss-making comparable quarter. Those spikes are capped before the classifier reads the trajectory, and shown pinned on the chart, so a single distorted quarter does not drive the stage call.

Return readings here are annual, not quarterly — read as level and direction only; they can confirm the growth curves but never drive the stage on their own.

Fewer than eight usable quarters on the growth curves — this page will not guess a trajectory from a stub of history.

05 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

55.9/100 — rank 14 of 44 in Pharma - Formulators · 75% evidence confidence

Strides Pharma Science Ltd scores 55.9 out of 100 against the 44 companies it is compared with in Pharma - Formulators, ranking 14. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 20.6 + 13.3 + 11.2 + 10.8 = 55.9. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.

What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.

06 · Revenue

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Strides Pharma Science Ltd reported ₹1,265 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +12.9% year on year. That is the 11th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 5.4% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹4,859 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹5,004 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹4,859 Cr (+6.4% on the year), capping 10 years at 5.4% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹1,265 Cr, +12.9% year on year — the 11th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +8.1% growth against the decade's 5.4% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +8.1% over the last 4 quarters against +10.4%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +79.1% vs −55.9%/yr — accelerating.

07 · Operating margin

Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every ₹100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.

Strides Pharma Science Ltd's operating margin is 18.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, −1.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −17.0% to 19.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 18.0%, −1.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −17.0%–19.0%, and FY26's 19.0% is the top of that band — a record year.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −1.4 pp year on year while gross margin went +0.5 pp — the loss came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.

Worth repeating from the valuation section: cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap — a record margin flatters every ratio built on top of it.

08 · Net profit

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Strides Pharma Science Ltd earned ₹165 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +55.7% year on year. It is the 4th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹575 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 19.7%. That is 13.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹106 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹165 Cr, +55.7% year on year — the 4th consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹575 Cr (−84.0%), and the 10-year compound rate is 19.7%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +12.9% and the margin −1.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +80.0% vs revenue +8.1%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra rupee of revenue drops more to the bottom line.

09 · Cash flow — the router

Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.

Over the last 3 fiscal years 42% of Strides Pharma Science Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹703 Cr of operating cash against ₹575 Cr of profit. After ₹644 Cr of capital spending, ₹59.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹703 Cr against reported profit of ₹575 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹59.0 Cr after ₹644 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 42% of profit.

Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.

🚨 Why conversion sits at 42%: the cash cycle stretched 29 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.

Router verdict: conversion is below par and the cash cycle has stretched 29 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.

10 · Where the cash goes

Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).

Strides Pharma Science Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 157 days in FY26, up from 128 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹694 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹4,859 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹13.3 Cr, so roughly ₹2,090 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 97 days, inventory at 305 days — roughly 10.0 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 157 days, looser than FY21's 128.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 305 days to sell; customers pay about 97 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 244 days — netting out to the 157-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹4,859 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹13.3 Cr — so the 157-day loop keeps roughly ₹2,090 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹694 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹608 Cr of depreciation — building somewhat ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹447 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY26: capex ₹644 Cr, work-in-progress ₹447 Cr Capital spending per fiscal year, ₹ Cr (bars); capital work-in-progress, ₹ Cr (line). Quarterly capital-spending history is not held for India — annual is the honest resolution.

The synthesis: the working-capital loop is the cash sink the router flagged — watch the cycle, not the P&L.

11 · Return on capital

Return on capital Return on capital employed (ROCE) is the profit the whole business earns on all the money in it — equity and debt together. It is the single best test of whether growth creates value or just size.

Strides Pharma Science Ltd earns a ROCE of 18% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −5% in FY22. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 11.8% net margin on 0.71× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 18%, recovered from a FY22 trough of −5% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 11.8% net margin × 0.71× asset turns × 2.19× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 18.3% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The quarterly return curves and the return-on-invested-capital overlay, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 98% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

12 · Debt

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings; interest cover says how many times operating profit pays the interest bill. Low and high, respectively, is the safe corner.

Strides Pharma Science Ltd carries ₹1,758 Cr of borrowings against ₹3,107 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.57. Operating profit covers the interest bill 5×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹2,348 Cr to ₹1,758 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹694 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹1,758 Cr against equity of ₹3,107 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.57. Operating profit covers the interest bill 5×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹2,348 Cr to ₹1,758 Cr while capital spending ran ₹694 Cr in just the last 3 — the build-out is being paid for out of cash, not debt.

FY26: borrowings ₹1,758 Cr at 0.57× equity Borrowings by fiscal year, ₹ Cr (bars); debt-to-equity, × (line). 13-year window. Quarterly balance-sheet history is not held for India — annual is the honest resolution.

The total-debt and debt-to-equity series, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 98% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

13 · Ownership

Ownership Who owns the stock, quarter by quarter: promoters (the controlling owners), foreign and domestic institutions, and the public. Steady accumulation by people close to the numbers is a signal; a quiet register is also an answer.

Domestic institutions cut 2.8 points of Strides Pharma Science Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 15.4% of the company. Promoters moved +2.1 points over the same window, to 27.9%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: −2.8 points over 8 quarters to 15.4%; Promoters: +2.1 points over 8 quarters to 27.9%; Foreign institutions: +1.7 points over 8 quarters to 28.4%.

Why the register moved: rotation — foreign institutions +1.7 points against domestic institutions −2.8 points over 8 quarters, with promoters +2.1 points — one class of institutions handing the register to the other, not a verdict change by the people closest to the numbers.

Fiscal-year ends: promoters +2.0 pts from Mar 24 to Mar 26 Shareholding at each fiscal-year end (March quarter), % of the company. 3 year-ends held.

14 · Safety line

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

Strides Pharma Science Ltd: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections above carry the balance-sheet evidence this page does hold, and each of them states its own reporting date.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led NIFTY 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led NIFTY 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Strides Pharma Science Ltd generated ₹703 Cr of operating cash flow in FY26 and ₹59.0 Cr of free cash flow after ₹644 Cr of capital spending. Reported profit that year was ₹575 Cr, so operating cash ran ahead of profit. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 11 September 2026.

What growth does Strides Pharma Science Ltd's price assume?

At its price on 13 June 2026, Strides Pharma Science Ltd was priced for profit growth of about 7.7% a year. Profit itself has compounded 19.7% a year over the past 10 years. The figure reads the multiple backwards: the growth a buyer at that price was already paying for. — as of 11 September 2026.

What could break the Strides Pharma Science Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only 42% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as operating cash — the gap between the P&L and the bank account is the thing to watch. Mechanically, two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day average would end the price trend — that is the exit rule this page tracks — as of 11 September 2026.

Is Strides Pharma Science Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Strides Pharma Science Ltd is printing record margins on a fuller multiple. From here the earnings must do all the lifting. The sharpest open question: whether the cash starts following the profit.
